+para_fsck tries to fix your database. Use --force (even if your name
+isn't Luke), to clean up after a crash. However, first make sure
+para_server isn't running before executing para_fsck if para_fsck
+complains about busy (dirty) tables. para_fsck also contains an option
+to dump the contents of your the contents of the database to the file
+system.
+
+If you don't mind to recreate your database you can start
+from scratch by removing the entire database directory, i.e.
+
+       rm -rf ~/.paraslash/afs_database
+
+Note that this removes all tables, in particular attribute definitions
+and data, and all playlist and mood definitions.
+
+para_fsck operates on the osl-layer, i.e. it fixes inconsistencies
+in the database but doesn't know about the contents of the tables
+contained therein. Use
+
+       para_client check
+
+to print out bad entries, e.g.missing audio files or invalid mood
+definitions.
